Caroline Polachek
Unhold
[Verse 1]
Are we falling?
We are falling
Are we falling?
Up to a height
The sun is going down
Light is weakening
We carry on
Into the night
Ever burning

[Chorus]
Why are we silent and out of sight?
What’s in you that cannot make you mine?
Too late for us to have started this right
Too soon to have given up the fight
Why are we silent and out of sight?

[Verse 2]
No horizon
There’s no horizon
The noose is tight
Where we once saw land
Are we here to sing
All we have to sing
Until it rings
True again
And it kills me
[Chorus]
Why are we silent and out of sight?
What’s in you that cannot make you mine?
Too late for us to have started this right
Too soon to have given up the fight
Why are we silent now?

[Verse 3]
Like a cloud of ink with no end
Speaking to us in only rumors
Like a goalless speech with no weight
Grudges sung in tune
As the fire never fades
Traded by your rule
Yet I try to make these words be mine
For I fear losing what I see now
In those eyes

[Chorus]
Why are we silent and out of sight?
What’s in you that cannot make you mine?
Too late for us to have started this right
Too soon to have given up the fight
Why are we silent and out of sight?
